Trump pledges to scrap offshore wind projects on ‘day one’ of presidency
Mon 13 May 2024 23.19 BST
Donald Trump has vowed to immediately halt offshore wind energy projects “on day one” of a new term as US president, in his most explicit threat yet to the industry and the latest in a series of promises to undo key aspects of the transition to cleaner energy.
Trump repeated false accusations about wind projects as being lethal to whales during a rally on Saturday in Wildwood, a resort city on New Jersey’s coast, promising to stamp out an industry that has been enthusiastically backed by Joe Biden.
“We are going to make sure that that ends on day one,” Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for November’s presidential election, said of the offshore wind farms. “I’m going to write it out in an executive order. It’s going to end on day one.”
The twice-impeached former president, currently facing four separate criminal indictments, said aquatic wind turbines “cause tremendous problems with the fish and the whales”. He added that whales “come up all the time, dead”, comparing a beached whale carcass to Chris Christie, a former New Jersey governor and rare Republican critic of Trump.
“They destroy everything, they’re horrible, the most expensive energy there is,” Trump said of the wind turbines. “They ruin the environment, they kill the birds, they kill the whales.”

A vote for Trump, a third party candidate, or no vote at all, is a vote for a dystopian future.

Good morning with good news: France surges offshore wind, with 500 MW Fecamp fully operating & 496 MW Saint Brieuc more than half built.
France also announced winner of 250 MW floating offshore auction, world's first commercial scale, at $93/MWh. Floating tech is key innovation!
